How to Grow
Rose - Climbing - Masquerade
- Bareroot Plants
- Plant bareroot roses at the earliest opportunity following delivery. If planting is not possible then heel them in by covering the roots with soil until conditions allow them to be planted in their permanent positions.
- When growing roses, choose a position in fertile well drained soil in full sun.
- Roses are greedy plants so add a small handful of granular fertiliser and mix some well rotted manure or compost to the soil.
- Dig a hole of sufficient width and depth to comfortably accommodate the bareroot plant. Position the plant in the hole so that the base of the stems sits just below soil level. Backfill the soil around the roots of the plant, firm in, and water well.
- Stems of climbing roses will require training against a suitable support such as a pergola, fence or wall.
- Aftercare
- Feed and water roses regularly throughout the growing season.
- Deadhead faded flowers.
- In autumn apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost to the base of the plant.
- In late summer begin pruning roses by removing dead and diseased wood, and any rubbing or damaged branches. For the first two years the remaining stems should simply be trained horizontally on wires. From the third year, the main stems can be reduced to maintain the plant within the available growing space. Side shoots should be reduced to 3 buds.
